Review: Lego 70403 – Dragon Mountain

October 10, 2013 By Jay Ong 7 Comments

Castle Lego will always occupy a special place in my heart and when Lego announced that they were rebooting the Castle line this year, I was pretty excited to get my hands on some. I settled on Dragon Mountain because hey, who wouldn’t want to own a massive Lego dragon? Name: Dragon Mountain Set Number: 70403 Pieces: 376…

LEGO Technic's March 2024 is out of this world - l LEGO Technic's March 2024 is out of this world - literally!

Blown away by the futuristic take on Space. It has everything from education-focused builds like Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit, to a @nasa Mars Exploration Rover to an awesome VTOL Heavy Cargo Spaceship that's unashamedly LEGO Space!

So glad Technic have broken free from the shackles of reality and are going where theme has never gone before! 🚀

The 2023 LEGO Employee Gift was delivered by the p The 2023 LEGO Employee Gift was delivered by the postman today and it's beautiful!

This is 4002023 Gingerbread House, a brick built LEGO Advent Calendar with 24 mini builds you can discover each day as you count down to Christmas!

As a member of the LEGO Ambassador Network, we are incredibly privileged to receive this set, and is something I look forward to each year as we close out the year.

No spoilers here, but I hope you can appreciate the great box and graphic design, and just how cool this LEGO Dots-adjacent set is!

I'll be sharing the builds daily here on Instagram (with a one day delay to prevent inadvertent spoilers), so keep an eye out!

Also 1 December is when we kick off the annual Jay's Brick Blog Advent Calendar countdown! Hope you're ready!

Here's a look at the Sapphire Star, the locomotive Here's a look at the Sapphire Star, the locomotive that pulls the @lego Orient Express!

Honestly, I think the Locomotive looks pretty good. In the flesh, it's much more attractive than LEGO's marketing photos and on the box art.

The boiler is a little short and stubby, and it looks plain from the front but there's plenty of nice details such as the gold and blue colour scheme, minions heads, gold pens and also NPU usage with the helicopter blades for the running board.

It's definitely not as impressive the original ideas submission, but with LEGO having to work with @orientexpress, many of the changes came at the behest of the IP partner, including the colour change.

That said, the Orient Express has never been about the locomotive (the carriages are the stars), but I think it's still a very fun build - just that the bar set by the original submission was too high!

Special thanks to LEGO for sending this review copy over!

In case you were wondering, here's the @lego Orien In case you were wondering, here's the @lego Orient Express next to one of the most legendary trains ever, The Emerald Night! 

The Orient Express is satisfyingly large and the carriages are the star of the show, dwarfing The Emerald Night's singular carriage.

Special thanks to @ramblingbrick for loaning me The Emerald Night for this comparison!
